that eight clubs had exceeded
their pledges by $349.54. This
would assure a total of almost
$1,675.

success have assured him
they will meet the goals: never­theless.

,WOUld be supported by !be
fee enacted last May by
Cost 01 a wrestling team
estimated at $300 for the first
year,-including equipment; trips,
and referees-and $150 for !be
years thereafter.
Two proposals for financing a
wrestling team \\-'ere advanced.
They are to add the activities fee
to the tuition and raise the fee 10
cents per student or to leave the
activities fee voluntary and raise
the price 35 cents per student.
A final 'decision on the team
cannot be made until Council de­cides
whether it wants the activi­ties
fee to be compulsory or volun~
tary next year, Dean O'Connell
said. If compulsory, Council must
make a recommendation through
the Administration to the Board of
Visitors for the Colleges of William
and Mary.
Two more activities are sched­uled
for the drive. The Day Stu­dents
League will hold a dance
Saturd;y night, and the Freshman
class will hold a Magic Show the
fourth week of this month.
Whitehead said that contribu­tions
to the drive have been
slower comi~g in this year than
in the past.
Students Invited to Inaugural Allen Backs Idea
Coach Ed AIlen and three RPI
students were· invited to the meet­ing
to explain the principles and
benefits of \Vrestling to SGA repre­sentatives.
"We had so many activities this
year that they had to be spread
over a !ong period of time," he
said. "This has made the drive
appear to be slower getting off
the ground than in past years.
Because contributions have been
slow coming in, several proposals
which would change the drive
plans for next year are being
studied, Whitehead said. He de­clined
to elaborate at this time.

Katy Heinz, 19-year-old Journ ....
alism major; Frances Graham, 21-
year-old Fashion Illustra.tion ma­jor
and Marvin Ald.er, 19-year-old
Accounting· major, received invi­tations

R. Hill Fleet, Ex-Head
Of Evening College, Dies
R. Hill Fleet, 70, former direc­tor
of the RPI Evening College,
died JAnuary 1 at a Richmond
hospital.
Mr. Fleet, a member of the Vir­ginia
legislature for three terms,
was born in Bruington. He at­tended
the UniverSity of Rich­mond,
the Unive.rsity of Virginia
anet the College of William and
Mary.
In June, 1950, at the age of 59,
JI,·lr. Fleet received a degree in
Distributive Education at RPI. He
then joined the RPI teaching staff
in the Department of Business
Administration. He became the
first full-time director of the eve­ning
college from 1950 to 1958.
When Melvin Fuller became di­rector
of the evening college that
year, Mr. Fleet became an act­ministrative
assistant to Dr. Hibbs,
then Provost.
Many improvements in the Eve­ning
College were made by Mr.
Fleet. He issued the first cata­logue
for the Evening C911ege, and
the enrollment doubled under his
direction,
Of Mr. Fleet personally, Mr.
Fuller said that he was a "fine
gentleman and an agreeable per­son
to work with."

Alder, a sophomore from Black­stone,
is a member of the Rich­mond
division of the Young Demo­crats;
and, he also worked hard
to make the Kennedy-Johnson
campaign a success in this area.
The students will attend four
of the nine inaugural events.
Two activities, a reception hon­oring
the Vice.. President-elect and
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson at the
Statler-Hilton hotel and the Young
Democrats' reception and dance
at the Mayflower hotel, are sched­uled
on Wednesday, January 18.
The three plan to drive to Wash­ington
for these two events and
return to Richmond that night.
The Young Democrats of Rich­mond
are chartering a bus to take
their members and sponsors to the
Inaugural parade Friday, January
20. Katy. Frances and Marvin will
take the bus Friday morning and
attend the parade and the Inaug-ural
Ball. The ball will be held
that night from 9 UJltil 2.
The two girls have decided that
their expenditures for the inaugu~
ration will be almost $40 (tickets
for the ball are $25 per person) .
Neither plans to buy a new formal
or to attend the Democratic Gala,
which costs $100 a ticket.
The two coeds are, of course,
excited about the inauguration.
"I'm going to put the invitation in
a black frame and hang it on the
wall in my room," said Katy.
HAs a body conditioner," Coach
Allen said, "wrestling is tremen­dous.
For building school spirit, I
don't know it you can beat it."
Bill -Overman, who Is a senior
and an assistant coach at"the Rich­mond
YMCA, explained several
wrestling holds, demonstrated by
Don Blankenship and Ervin Debn.

Set Designs Complicated
For 'Anger Production
Sets for "L a 0 k Homeward,
Angel" are the most complicated
Thomas Hol1oway, technical di­rector
,for the Drama department,
can remember constructing. ·'But
they are also the most fun," Holla­way
said. So much so that he
calls his scene- shop "Happytime."
"Angel" which opens at 8:30
p.m. Wednesday in the Shafer
Street Playhouse, will run through
Friday night.
A new revolving stage on which
1\\'0 bedroom scenes are con­structed
is ready for use in the
productiqn. The stage will change
scenes automatically. A front
porch set is adjoined to the re­volving
stage, and simulated stone
angels and headstones are being
prepared for the scene in Will
Gant's stone-cutting yard.
Another innovation in this set is
a screen that stretches the length
of the revolving stage and makes
the scene opaque wh'en lighted
from the front. Action on the re­volving
stage is clearly visable
when the set is lighted from the
rear.
In lead roles, in this the second
production at the current season,
are David Wilborn, as Eugene;
Jay Dunn, as Ben; Marilyn Ende, ,
as Eliza, and James Davis, 81
W. O. Gant.
Other members of the cast are
Patricia Story, Genevra Bell,
Carey Lee King, Richard White,
Marshall M u r d aug h, Lillian
Hutchinson, Jean Biddle, Julia
Ann Field, William Cass, Priscilla
Turner, Helen Milburn, Stanley
Soble, Chris Fayle, Woody Eney
and Robert Drewery.
Students holding activity cards
may bring the cards to the box
office to be punched. Reserved
seat tickets will be given to them.
